When relay D is deener ized, the circuit for the primary of transiormer T is from wire 9,

When relay D' is dciinergized, current or reverse polarity is supplied to transformer T, so that relay H" is encr ized in the reverse direction.

it follows from the foregoing that the track relay H for a block immediately in the rear of an occupied block is energized in the reverse direction. and that the track rcla I for a block in the rear of the unocclb pie block is energized in the normal direction. 26 Means are provided for each block for supplying a second alternating current thereto, which current flows in the same direction in both rails of the block. This current is supplied by a. transformer located at the entrance end of the block and designated by the reference character U with an exponent corresponding to the location. The primary of each of these transformers is connected directly with the transmission line P. This current is led into the track rails through connections at the middle points of resistances which are connected across the rails and which are designated by the reference character M with suitable exponent-s and subscripts. Three of these resistances a re provided for each block, two of which are located at the o )posite ends of the block and the third at an intermediate oint 'in the block designated E. The point E in each block is located adistance in therear of the exit end of the block substantially equal to the maximlun braking distance of-a train traveling at an intermediate speed, which speed, as hereinafter chosen arbitrarily, is 35 miles per hour. Each block is, therefore, divided by the point 1*] into a forward sec tion and a rear section; thus the forward section for block B--C is section E('l, and the rear section is 3-1).

The so ply of current from each transformer U to the rails' of the cones )ondin" block is controlled by contact 8 of t e trash relay for the same block, and by contact 14 of the relay D for the block next in advance. Contact 8 of each track relay is arran -d to be closedwhen the relay is deiinergize but to be open when the relay is energized in either normal or reverse direction. When relay D is energized, and relay D deiiner so gized,'current from transformer U is sup- Iplied to the rails of block B-C, the circuit eing from the secondary of transformer U, through wire 23, non-inductive resistance 24, contact 8 of relay H wire 25 to the middle point of resistance M here the current dirides and flows through the two halves of this resistance in opposite directions, through rails R and R 111 multiple, the two halves of resistance 'M", in opposite directions to the middle point of this resistance; thence through wire 26, upper point of contact .14 of relay 1)", and wire 27 to the secondary of transformer U. When relay D is. definergized, however, the current from transformer U passes through wire 23, reso sistance 24, contact 8, wire 25, resistance M rails R and R in multiple to pointE, thence throu h the two halves of resistance M wire 28, ower point of contact 14, and wire 27 to transformer U. It will be seen, therefore, that when the relay D for any block is energized, and the block in the rear is occupied, current from the transformer U is supplied to the track rails of the block in the rear throu hout the entire length of such block; but that when the relay D for any block is deenergized and the block in the rear is occupied, current from the transformer U is sup lied to onl the rear sectien of the block in the rear, 1; mt is, from the entrance end of such block to the point It. It will further be seen' that current from the transformer U of any block is suppliedto the rails of such block only when relay H for such block is deenergized; that is, only when a vehicle has entered the block.

From the for wing it will be seen that menus are provi ed for each block For supplying two superimposed alternating signaling currents to the rails thereof, one of which currents flows in op iosite directions in the two rails, while the other current flows in the same direction along the rails. An inductive reactance 3 is included in the secondary circuit of each transformer T, and a non-inductive resistance'24 is included in the secondary circuit of each transformer U, so that the currents from the two sources are preferably displaced substantialllly 90 in phase in the track rails. The rest taut total current in one rail is, therefore, approximately equal in amplitude, hut diflfers widely in phase from the current in the other rail. Since the local winding 5 and the track windin 4: of the track relay H, which is 120 prefers. 1y of the usual induction motor type are inductive, the current through locai winding-5' will lag behind the eiectromotive force of the transmission line, and will require ale of morethan 90 in the current 125 in the tree r winding s to the phase displacemeet between the currents in the two relay windin required for the most eflicient operation o the relay. Non-incluotive shunt resistance M, connected across winding 4 per- 13 0 mits the current in the inductive branch circuit 4 to lag a greater amount than the resultant current in the track rails from transformer T, which current, by reason of the reactance of the track rails and the non inductive shunt resistance M, will lag a greater amount than the total current through reactance 3, which total current will lag behind the electromotivc force of the transmission line. That is, by connecting non-inductive resistances M across the track rails the angle of lag of the track circuit current in the track rails and through the track relay may be increased, and within limits maybe varied b changing these resistances, so as to secure edcient operation of the track relay and likewise so as to produce a large ang e of lag in the track circuit current in an occupied block so as to secure etlicient operation of certain vehicle-carried apparatus hereinafter described. As is evident, the leakage conductance between rails may in wet weather produce an effect similar to resistances M, but the presence of resistances M stabilizes this effect and renders the track circuit less variable with changes in weather conditions and secures the advantageous conditions of operation under all weather con ditions.

Located at the entrance of each block is a roadside signal which is designated by thereference character S with an exponent corresponding to the location of the siwnal. As here shown, these signals are of the type known as light signals, each cornprising three electric lamps'G, Y and R, indicating proceed, caution and stop, respectively when illuminated. Each signal S is controlled by contact 7 of the adjacent track relay H, and by contact 17 of the adjacent relay D. This control is such that when the track relay is energized in the normal direction, the green lam G is illuminated so that; the signal indicates proceed; when the track relay is ener ized in reverse direction the yellow lamp Y is illuminated so that the signal indicates cautil)? 3 and when the track relay is deenergizcd, the red lain R is illuminated so that the signal indicates stop. As here shown, the circuit for the proceed lam G (see signal S is from wire 9, throng the upper point of contact 17, wire 29, right-hand point of contact 7, wire. 30, lamp G, and wire 31 towire 12'. The circuit for the caution lamp Y is the same as the circuit just traced for lamp G, except that it includes the left-hand point of contact 7 and wire The circuit for the red lamp R is from wire 9, through the lower point, of contact 17, Wire 33, lamp R, and wire 31 to wire 12.

Referrin now to Fig. 2, the reference character T desi ates a railway vehicle (a car or train), w 1ich.is represented by two axles and two pairs of wheels. Mounted on this vehicle in advance of] the forward axle are two laminated soft iron cores 34 and 34, located over the two track rails respcctively (see also Fig. 3), each core being U-shapcd with its legs. pointing downwardly, and each core being disposed trans versely with respect to the rail. It is up parent, therefore, that when alternating current flows in either rail, part of the magnetic lines of force surrounding such rail will pass through the core which is directly over the rail, and so will induce an alterhating potential in any coil which the core ma carry.

(acre 34 is provided with two coils 35 and 36, and core 34 is similarly provided with two coils 35 and 36*. Coils 3.3 and 35 are connected in series in a circuit a. which circuit is from coil 35, through wire 37, condenser 38, wires 39 and 40. coil 35 and wire 41 to coil 35". The coils :55 and 35 are connected in this circuit in such manner that the potentials created in these coils by alternating current flowing in opposite d1- rections in the two rails are additive, while the potentials created in these coils by currents flowing in the same direction 111 the two rails oppose each other and so cause no current in circuit a. Track circuit currcut from transformers T, therefore, induces current in circuit a, but the current supplied by transformers U produces no current in this circuit.

Coils 36 and 36 are connected in series in circuit b. which circuit is from coil 36, through wire 42, condenser 43, wires 39, 40 and 44, coil 36, and wire 45 to coil 36. The coils 3G and 36 are connected in this circuit in suchmanner that the potentials created in these coils by currents flowing in the same direction in the two track rails are additive, but. that the potentials created in these coils by currents flowing in opposite directions in the two track rails opposeeach other. It follows, then, that current from the transformers U flowing in the track rails will induce a current in circuit I), but that no current will be induced in this circuit by track circuit current in the rails from the transformers T Coils 35 and 35 are so wound as to have high inductance, and condenser 38 has comparatively small capacity, and the circuit including those. elements (circuit a) is tuned to resonance at the frequency 'of the signaling current, hence condenser 38 will be charged to a comparatively high potential by the comparatively feeble cu rrcnt induced in circuit a by current in the track rails. Circuit 7) is also tuned to resonance at the signaling current frequency. with similar results. It follows that when the vehicle V occupies a block in which Fig'fiullng currents are supplied to the track rails by transformers T and ll, currents will flow in circuits (1 and 7) on the vehicle. and these currents will be of the same frequency as. and will have the same phase ilispl: *Pilltllt as. the two currents in the track rails respcctivclr. These currents. and the consequent potentials impressed on condensers its and 41%. are. ho ever. too feeble to reli ably actuate traliit governing a )paratus of a rugged ch tcr. hence I pret erably pro- \ide suitable iuplit'ying apparatus. which. in the form re shown. comprises electron tubes K. K". i i and K. Each oi these electron tubes (see ii) comprises a vacuum tube 41' LUlllllillll'lg a filament ill, a plate il and a grid interposed between the two. The filaments l8 oi these electron tubes are constantly heated by a l'iattery 46 through circuits which will be obvious from the drawing.

(11116811550? 3% of circuit rt is connected ZUTUSS the lilamcnl l and grid so of electron tube K. a blocking condenser 51 being inrluiied in the circuit. The plate circuit of electron tube lie is l'roni plate 49. through uirc 5:1. prinmrr of transformer 53. wires .14 and 55. the generator i oi a motor Jeneratrn' '11. and wires ll? and oil to filament i of electron tube ii. The motor M of the motor generator Z is constantly operated by the battery iii. The secondary of transformer oil is connected across the filament and grid of the electron tube K. The plate circuit of this latter electron tube is iron; thc plate iii. through wire on, winding .5? of a relay F. wires 59 and 53; generator (i. wires 39 and (ill. filament of electron tube K. and wire til to filament of electron tube K (onnected across relay winding 5? a condenser 58. the circuit comprising condenser 5 and winding 5? being tuned to resonance at the frequency of the signaling current. It will be seen. therefore. that relay winding 57 is supplied with current of the same frequency as that which is supplied to the track circuit, but that this current is of considerably greater magnitude than that induced in circuit a and so is of suilicient value to reliably actuate an electromagnetic or induction motor relay of rugged design.

The current induced. in the vehicle-carried circuit 1) is similarly amplified by the two electron tubes K and K. the plate circuit of the latter electron tube being from the plate of the electron tube through wire 62. winding 63 of relay F, wires 59 an( 55, generator G. wires 39 and 64. filament of electron tube K and wire 65 to the lilament of electron tube Ki (onnected across relay winding 63 is a condenser 66, the circuit including this winding and condenser being tuned to resonance at the frequency of the signaling current. i l inding; 63 is. therefore, supplied with current of the same frequency as the current supplied to the track rails by the transformers l. but the current in. Winding til is. of course. of coin siderably greater magnitude than that which flows in circuit 5.

The relay i is of the induction motor comprising a rotor member (37 which "its to rrents displaced in phase in ling: T and 63. and which. in turn. aetuates contart members 68 and (i9. lnas much as the two currents in the track rails are displa ed in ihzise. it follows that the currents in relay windings 5? and 63 will similarly be displaced in phase. So that torque will be exerted on the rotor member (3? in one direction or the other, depending on the relative instantaneous polarities of the currents in the track rail- In other words, contact members (38 and 69 will be swung to. the right or the left from their middle position to which they are biased. according: as the track circuit current from transformer T of normal or reverse polarity.

Relay i controls a relay l in such manner that the latter relay is energized when relay F is energized in either direction, and that relay E1 is deenergized when relay l. is de nergicied. The circuit for relay L is from battery iii. through wires T0. 71. T2 and T3. contai' t (if of relay F. wire 74, relay 1.. and wires 75. Tl: and 39 to battery -16.

The relays l and T1 may be employed to control any kind of tra ic governing apparatus that may be desired. As here shown. these relays control a cab signal S and speed controlling apparatus which two devices I will now describe.

The signal Scomprises three incandescent lamps G, Y and R. which lamps, when illuminated, indicate proceed: caution and stop, respectively. The control of this signal is such that when relay F is energized in the normal direction. lamp (l is illuminated so that the signal indicates proceed; when relay F is energized in the reverse direction. lamp Y is illuminated so that the signal indicates caution and when relay is denergized lamp R is illuminated so that the signal indicate. stop. The circuit for lamp G is from battery 46, through wires 70, 71 and 72, upper point of contact 77 of relay L. wire 78, right-hand point of contact 68. wire 79, lamp G, and wires 80 and 39 to battery 46. The circuit for the caution lamp Y. is the same. except that it includes the left-hand point of contact 68 and wire 81. The circuit for lamp R is from battery 46, through wires 1'0, 71 and 72. lower point of contact 7?, wire 82. lamp R and wires 80 and 39 to battery 46.

The speed controlling apparatus V is governed by two relays J and J", which relays are in turn controlled by relays F lll but the current supplied to circuit o will be of reverse polarity. so that rela F Will hecome energized 11] the reverse direction. Signal S will then indicate caution and the trailic governing apparatus il will cause the speed of the vehicle to ho hrought down to the intermediate value, such as 35 miles per hour. whereupon the vehicle may then proceed at or helon' this speed. ,Vhen the vehicle passes point I11 in this Mock. the suppl of current to circuit F; will he discontinueiL so that relay 1* will become dcenergizcd. Signal will then change to stop indi cation and the governing apparatus ll will cause the speed of the vehicle to he reduced to if miles per hour, whereupon the vehicle may then proceed at or below this speed. As the vehicle Y passes location C, the supply of current to circuit 1: will he discontinued. hecaase the track circuit current will he cut oil by the u'liccls and axles of the rehiclc Y in the same block in advance of vehicle i so that even though current will then he supplied to circuit i relay P will continue to he deencrgized and the conditions of signal S and governing apparatus ll will not he changed.

Although I have herein shown and dcrihcd only one form of apparatus embodying my lIiVQDtlGIL it is understood that rarions changes and modifications may be made therein within the scope of the up pendcd claims Without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.
